You know what’s the worst? Having to change clothes multiple times a day. When summer rolls around and I’m hitting the beach or pool, I couldn’t agree more. But do I let that stop me from enjoying a casual dinner or drinks afterward? Um, no. WHY would anyone turn down either of those?! That’s why I’ve perfected ways to wear your swimsuit to dinner or a night out.

On days when I know I have something coming up later, or when I’m schlepping to the beach via the subway system, I’m all about the one piece swim suit. If you choose one that’s high on glam factor, like this black & white color blocked halter suit, you can totally throw on a skirt, and you’re ready to rock. It’s also a much more stylish alternative than the traditional shorts, tank and flip flops over the suit. And because I have a flair for the dramatic (also because I’m pale as f*ck), I never go without a large hat. To me, that completes the look.
